Sony have posted a competition up on their blog for folks in the US. If you answer three questions correctly, related to pop you’ll have the chance to win a netbook or Billabong Boardshorts. The competition closes Friday 3rd September where 2 winners will be picked to win the netbook and 10 winners for the Boardshorts.

The netbook available in competition, is the Billabong edition of the VAIO W, which comes in “Imperial Lime”. Most of the specs of the netbook are pretty standard, 1GB of RAM, 10 inch display and a 250GB hard drive. The VAIO W however, is highly praised for it’s higher resolution. Most netbooks feature a maximum resolution of 1024×600, where as the VAIO W, you can use that, or opt for the higher 1366×768 option, which definitely makes a difference.

To enter the competition, you’ll need to visit the Sony blog post here. You’ll need to answer the following three questions by using the comments system and using a valid email address (so they can contact you if you’re one of the lucky winners).

1. What charity did this year’s Design for Humanity event benefit?  Hint:  Watch this video
2. What’s the official color name of the VAIO / Billabong collab?  Hint: Read this story
3. Name the first fan to win the new VAIO / Billabong PC in our 3 stop homestretch?  Hint: Read/Watch this story

The Sony VAIO W11S1E was previously available from PC World in the UK for delivery only. Collection from store wasn’t possible and now ordering it, isn’t at all. Not from PC World anyway. Those following the direct link to the 10 inch netbook from Sony will find themselves redirected to the netbook page, with no sign of any Sony netbook in sight.

It is however, still available from Amazon.co.uk. All color models are still currently in stock from £330.
